Advanced Systems & Designs, 600-22-ZYGO1200-MTI, FlashCable Gage Interface for Zygo Z-Mike 1200 Laser Bench Gauge
Features:
- Digimatic output FlashCable gage interface for Zygo Z-Mike Laser Bench Gage
- Sends data to GageMux USB or devices that recognize the Digimatic signal
- Several options to trigger SPC data
Send SPC Data to GageMux gage Interface.The Zygo / Z-Mike 1200 Laser Bench Gauge is a non-contact gauge that uses a scanning laser to measure part size or position. Using the built in bidirectional RS232 series interface, SPC data can be collected using this FlashCable gage interface. The FlashCable gage interface is configured to change the output on the Zygo / Z-Mike 1200 Laser Bench Gauge to an output in a Mitutoyo Digimatic format.
The 25-pin male connector on the Advanced Systems & Designs FlashCable connects directly to the female connector on the Zygo 1200 Laser Bench Gauge. This FlashCable gage interface is designed to work with GageMux multiple input gage interface or other Digimatic devices that recognize the Mitutoyo Digimatic signal.
The FlashCable gage interface does not obtain any power from the Zygo / Z-Mike 1200 Laser Gauge. Instead, pin 9 on the 10-pin input port on the GageMux interface provides the power to the FlashCable gage interface. When using devices other than GageMux, pin 9 must provide a 5V DC to the FlashCable gage interface. When the FlashCable gage interface is properly connected the LED on the FlashCable is a solid GREEN to indicate that the FlashCable gage interface is ready to use. The LED flashes RED when the data is sent or a data request is triggered.
The data transfer can be triggered using any of the following methods:
- Using the GO button on the Zygo 1200 Laser Bench Gauge
- Using a Footswitch connected to the GageMux USB or similar triggering method
- Using 300-1S in-line handswitch
- Using a Footswitch on the FlashCable gage interface cable (not included)
- Sending a read command from the computer to the gage
This FlashCable gage interface arrives with a detailed operation manual to help with the correct RS232 communication. At the factory, Advanced Systems & Designs normally sets the FlashCable gage interface to the default settings on the Zygo Z-Mike 1200 Laser Bench Gauge. Both the Zygo 1200 Laser Bench Gauge and FlashCable gage interface must be set to the same values. Refer to the Zygo / Z-Mike Laser Operation and Maintenance manual for more information on setting RS232 communication. Six foot overall cable length.
